Your jacket is so cute! Thanks for letting us know about a pattern that actually has good instructions.

Tres chic! Very couture-looking. Nice to know this pattern has bagged lining instructions. I might try it just for that. Well, and the really cute jacket that results! Nice work.

Very cute jacket! I keep thinking I'd like to make a jacket in this style and I really like your version. Nice job! Thanks for the tip on the bagged lining too.

That is a stunning jacket! I love your modifications.

Impressive and inspiring! Please model for us once you've applied the patch pockets. Super job!

That jacket is absolutely fabulous!

Awesome and accurate knock-off!

A really excellent first review of your beautiful jacket that emulates a RTW jacket. In fact, I like your jacket better as your buttons have more panache than the inspiration garment. Superb workmanship. I look forward to seeing many more of your lovely creations in the future. -Lily

Gorgeous jacket. Love the ruffled collar

Lovely jacket. Love the ruffles! Great knockoff of the Fiona jacket. Your topstitching looks fantastic. Love the fabric choice as well.

Wow, I love what you did with this pattern. This is adorable.

This jacket is so "current". I really like the cut, the ruffle and the fabric you've selected. I am sure you will get a lot of mileage out of this and compliments!

Ah-Dorable!

Trés snazzola!

I really like what you did with the collar - I would not have seen past the envelope picture to envision it with the ruffles. Your version is adorable!

Great jacket! Love your version. Sounds a great pattern considering it includes lining (bagging instructions)& finishing details.

Wonderful knock-off. Awesome jacket. I want one too.

Excellent knock-off and review. Your changes to this pattern are amazing.

Your jacket is adorable--love it!

Great jacket! I really like the asymmetry of the ruffle on one side of the jacket. Great job!

Fabulous jacket! I like the ruffle you added. I'd buy your version before I bought the J.Crew jacket.

How did you add the ruffles? What were the measurements? And what other adjustments did you make to make it look like the Fiona jacket.
4/10/08 8:13 PM
Jartayne: The ruffles were basted to the front and neckline before the bagged lining was stitched on. Without having the original to check their scale, I just made the ruffle strip to a height I found flattering. Other than that, the sleeve bands and buttonholes were the only other pattern modifications I had to make. I never did get around to adding the pockets!

Lovely work and fabric here. Easy?! Doesn't look like an easy pattern for beginners to me! :) Thanks for a good review.

Love, love, love your jacket! Even better than the "originals". Great design, fabric selection, techniques, and execution. A+++ Way to go!
